A Duchess in Rags.
From Gallgnami's Messenger.


A farmer at Esbly lately remarked
among the laborers at work in his field,
gathering the crops of beet root, a young
woman whose refined manners and lam
guage denoted a person of superior edu-
cation. A few days back she asked her
employer how she could send sum OF
twenty-five francs to a locality near
Scissors, to recover possession OF some
diamond earrings she had pledged
there. The story reached the ears of the
gens-d'armes who arrested her and con-

where she appeared all mud-stained and
clothed in rags. She then related the
following curious story:

He Saw the Blood.

During December last 1856 strangers
visited the Alamo and are registered
from all paris of the world. To all these
custodian Rife has recounted the bloody
story of the Alamo, so Ii can be imagined
that his post is no sineeure. Hundreds,
IL may be asserted, have visited the
Alamo ard have not taken the trouble
to record their names.
On Dec. 2lst an aged man bowed with
years visited the Alamo and took mark
ed interest In the graphic story as told
by Tom Rife. On leaving the old man
wrote In the register as follows:
"Lucien HOpsOn, Austin, veteran Of
San Jacinto, who saw the blood of Davy
Crockett on the walls of the church a
few days after the battle of San Jacinto,
when we we're driving the Mexicans out
of the country.

An Old Timer Shouts for ireland.
Editor LIGHT:
Among the strange things Ofthis time,
is the opposition of the LIGHT" to Cow

senate, and Its criticism of the Governor
for bis exercise Of the pardonirg power.
Now, Mr.. Editor, Governor lrt land Is
one Of the self-made men OF This age, rs
was Ben franklin and John Marshall,
chief Justice Of United States supreme
court. He is like Henry Clay, a man OF
great magnetic power over the minds OF
those with whom he comes in contact.
His friends, like the friends of Clay, are
full of enthusiasm and steadfast 10 the
end; because they believe he can be
trusted; and this is a great compliment
or honor in this treacherOus age in high
place, or among the aspiraDts for such
place.
II the Governor is not to exercise the
pardOniDg power, why is he invested
with it? Was it not wise as we'll as
humane, to invest the chief executive of
state and nation with this power? Did
you never hear OF the legal maxim, that
"ninety-nine guilty men had better
escape, than one innocent man suffer p"
Or, are you Of opinion that 1t is better
for niDety-nine Innocent men TO suffer
than one guilty man escape?
Are editors and newspaper writers
better able to judge than the executive
who has the facts and arguments before
him?
Is there not often tremendous pres
sure upon courts and juries to convict
men charged, whether right or wrong?
Are there not many time packed pro-
fessiOnal jurors, who would not be al
lowed to serve on the jury, If the district
attorney objected to them?
Are you in blissful ignorance, Mr.. Ed
itor of LIGHT" II not knowledge. of
this sublunary planet and inhabitants In
our portion Of 1t? That high Office has
not spoiled the stste executive, as would
be with a weak official; and that he can
feel from y noble, generous heart, and
practically recognize the great thought
in modern criminal science, that justice
